    Thank you! I really just log, log, log and exercise, exercise, exercise! It is at the point now where I can eat just about anything (in moderation, of course) because I work out a lot. I usually burn anywhere from 600-1100 calories a day. I have a feeling I am going to have to adjust this soon because I am having trouble eating ENOUGH on these days. ...never thought Id write those words... but its going to be hard for me because I do REALLY LOVE working out and seeing what my body can do (in a healthy way, of course).

    My weekly schedule looks like this:
    Monday- 30 minute Ab class and Step II
    Tuesday- Strength Training Class, Pilates, Zumba
    Wednesday- Step Interval with Weights, Zumba, and just started TurboJam
    Thursday-Strength Training Class, Pilates, Zumba
    Friday-Rest day
    Saturday- Rotating Cardio Class and Zumba
    Sunday-Rest Day
